Russian M1902 Artillery WW1

Russia’s 76.2 mm field gun model 1902 became one of the Imperial Army’s principal artillery weapons before and during the First World War. It combined rapid-fire capability with a carriage and recoil system suited to the artillery practices of its era. The gun remained important during the civil war and in later modified forms. Its long career demonstrates how a successful prewar weapon could survive political revolution and technological change, even as demands for greater range and more flexible fire increased. Modernizations sought additional range and better handling as artillery requirements changed. An original imperial gun and a later Soviet modification could therefore share ancestry without having identical technical details.
